Obama immigration plan blocked by 4-4 tie at Supreme Court [Mark Sherman, Associated Press] June 23, 2016 WASHINGTON (AP) -- A tie vote by the Supreme Court is blocking President Barack Obama's immigration plan that sought to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation. The justices' one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the rest of Obama's presidency. The outcome underscores that the direction of U.S. immigration policy will be determined in large part by this fall's presidential election, a campaign in which immigration already has played an outsized role. People who would have benefited from the programs face no imminent threat of deportation because Congress has provided money to deal with only a small percentage of people who live in the country illegally, and the president retains ample discretion to decide whom to deport. A tie vote sets no national precedent but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. In this case, the federal appeals court in New Orleans said the Obama administration lacked the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation and make them eligible for work permits without approval from Congress. https://www.yahoo.com/news/obama-immigration-plan-blocked-4-4-tie-supreme-143924528--politics.html?ref=gs So another of Obama's unconstitutional actions gets stuffed down his loud mouth. |

He is now yammering on TV about the defeat now. "Lack of the ninth justice is the problem". |
